Bottled Sugar.
Exchange

The author of Under the Punkah'' tells an amusing incident of his life in India. The story is good illustra- tive one, for it applies well to many in- vestigations and discussions carried on among men. He had given to a tame monkey lump of sugar inside corked bottle. The monkey was of an in quiring kind, and the effect to get at the mystery-and the sugar-nearly killed him.
 Sometimes, in an impulse of disgust, he would throw the bottle away, out of his reach and then be distracted until it was given back to him.
 At other times, he would sit with a countenance of the most intense dejec- tion, contemplating the bottled sugar, and then, as if pulling himself together for another effort at solution, would sternly take up the problem afresh. and gaze into the bottle. He would tilt it up one way and try to drink the sugar through the cork, and then, sud- denly reversing it, try to catch the sugar as it fell out at the bottom.
 Under the impression that he could catch it by surprise, he kept lapping his teeth against the glass in futile bites, and, warming to the pursuit of the revolving lump, used to tie him. self into regular knots round the bot tie. Fits of the most ludicrous melan- choly would alternate with these spasms of furious speculation, and how the matter would have ended it is impossible to say.
 But the monkey got loose one night and took the bottle with him: and it has always been delight to me to think that whole forestfuls of monkeys have by this time puzzled themselves into fits over the great problem of Bot tied Sugar.

Natures Great Remedy.

Of late years medical men have turned their attention to electricity as a means of cure for the various ills which flesh is heir to. Those who understand it's use have met with gratifying success. This has natur- ally caused a lot of charlatans to spring up all over the country, and we can scarcely open paper without seeing them filled with advertisements of belts, bandages and other electric appliances. Many of these are the worst of humbugs, and those who in vest their money in it may as well throw it in the fire. But these remarks do not apply to all There is belt manufactured in Chicago by gentle man who is an accomplished cleo trician, and who has made it the study of his life. We refer to Dr. w. J.. Horne, 19l Wabash avenue, Chicago. This gentleman makes an electro magnetic belt which is the wonder of the age, and which has worked many marvellous cures. It is made on strictly scientific principles and never fails to give the best results. He also makes an electro magnetic truss, which is highly spoken of by those who have used it as being remarkably eff cacious in curing rupture. Dr. Horne is meeting with great success, and we recommend his electro magnetic ap- pliances as worthy of a trial to the readers of our paper.

Parting Platitudes.
Youths Companion,l

It is extremely pleasant to meet a friend at railway station, for a few minutes chat before his departure, but that social enjoyment is not without other alloy than that of the pain of parting. Who can think of anything on the spur of the moment which seems of sufficient importance to say in five or ten minutes? The conver- sation degenerates into hopeless plat itudes, until one can scarcely wonder at such as the following, which may be heard any day at railroadIstation {:
 "Well, give my love to Aunt Sarah"
 "Yes, will. Be sure to look for my parasol. know left it in the hall"
 "You took your lunch ?"
 "Oh, yes; it's in my basket.'
 "Tell Jim to write, won't you ?"
 "Yes, and you be sure to come and see us as soon as you can."
 There's the bell! Now take care of yourself!"
 '.'Come and see us"
 "Come again!"
 Tell Jim"
 The train moves out of the station, but the bystanders are convinced that the colloquy could have gone on for ever, and that it would have done so, had not the engine interfered.

Man a Bundle of Habits. !"
Boston JournaI.l

A certain writer declares that man is only a "bundle of habits." An i'm spired writer inquiries: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leop- ard his spots? then may ye do good who are accustomed to do evil" A man told the writer that he formed the habit of drinking glass of water every morning on rising, as a gentle cathartic, but when he wished to drop as simple habit as this he found it difficult. But how much harder to abandon any habit which has in- trenched itself in some abnormal ap- petite. Especially is this SO if the habit is formed in early life.
 Let a young person form the habit of over- eating, especially of rich food or confections, and he has a demon which may buffet him through life. We cannot over-rate the danger and damage from the drinking habits of this country, especially of the foreign population; but it is serious ques- tiOn whether the habit of over-eating does not really induce more diseases and death than strong drink. One writer affirms that ten persons die from over eating where one dies from drinking, from the simple fact that every one eats and most people eat too much, while only fraction of the people take intoxicating liquors. At any rate, Solomon places the drunk ard and the glutton in the same boat, and unless they take heed they will go over the same fatal cataract to- gether! Our hired girl, who recently came from the north of Ireland and has not yet formed the habit of heavy eating, requires only about two thirds the amount of food that an average American woman would consume Candies are distasteful to her; cakes, pies and pudding she cares little for, and eats very little meat. And yet she is a large, well-formed, healthy woman, with teeth as sound as flint, and muscles as strong as a mans. In France only about thirds of the people eat meat. In Scotland, but little meat is eaten by the working classes, and that of the cheapest kind AA AASAtehANt thOiC uIC who only see meat on Christmas!
 The American teeth tell the sad tale of gorged stomachs, with acid forma- tions which destroy the enamel of the teeth. If we saw herd of cows with such teeth we should know that their food must have been at fault. We advocate no vegetarian theory as general rule, only let us eat that quality of food that we can properly digest. Different constitutions and callings de- mand different kinds and qualities of food. Let each judge for himself, but to form a morbid habit of gormandiz- ing is sin next to intemperance in drinking, and is habit almost, in some cases, as hard to relinquish as liquor-drinking.

Moxie Likely to Become the National Beverage.

The extract of this plant lately put on the market as beverage, by an eminent Massachusetts physician, for nervous exhaustion and the effects of dissipation and overwork, by it's re- markable results and power to recover nervous, exhausted women, has been a marvellous success. The women swarm after 1t, and it has probably saved more inebriates from the liquor ap- appetite than all other agencies to- gether. The women say they can do double work on 8 cents worth per day. Professional men and mental workers are wild over it. The sale is enormous. Every grocer, druggist, soda man and doctor dispense it, every where, and luckily for the people it is sold very low. That is as it should be.
